I don't think it appropriate to define the comparison as case sensitive
for the 'host name' part as that would violate the well understood need to
be case insensitive.
I would prefer the whole comparison to be case insensitive as it makes for
easier human parsing during error analysis, etc., but I recognize that may
not be a widely held preference and doesn't mimic how a similar URL/URI
would be resolved by common web servers.
